As soon as these words came out, Fan Jin and Li Xian's faces couldn't help but change, and both of them thought that Zhao Guohua was going to take credit. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Fan Jin forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with an unhappy face, "Then what does Captain Zhao mean, please make it clear." ”

Glancing at the two of them, Zhao Guohua smiled and said, "The two adults misunderstood what I meant. ”

"I'm stupid, and I ask Brother Zhao to explain it in detail." Li Xian said, arching his hand lukewarmly, and Zhizhou Fan Jin looked at Zhao Guohua silently.

Picking up the fragrant tea on the table and taking a sip, Zhao Guohua said with a smile: "Two adults, you are the lord in Zhuozhou, and I and the volunteer team are guests, and it is mainly your credit to hold Zhuozhou." ”

"What does Captain Zhao mean......" Fan Jin said tentatively, he had already reacted a little.

Zhao Guohua said: "My lord, as I said just now, it is mainly your credit to hold Zhuozhou, and I can't snatch your credit from the guest." My only requirement is that the Tartar's first number must be real. ”

"I understand, I understand......" Fan Jin said happily, entered the study, quickly wrote a notebook, and then walked out with it, handed it to Zhao Guohua, and said with a smile: "Captain Zhao, do you see me writing like this, is it appropriate?" ”

After taking the fold, Zhao Guohua read it, nodded with a smile.

After discussing this matter, Zhao Guohua told Fan Jin about leading troops to rescue the plundered Ming people, and Fan Jin dissuaded him, but when he saw that he couldn't dissuade him, he had to agree.

Three days later, Chen Shimei came back with ten officers and soldiers to explore horses and Niu Huan and others, Zhao Guohua and Li Xian were inspecting the defense situation at the head of the city, because they were afraid of the Tartars' deception, so the two did not dare to relax.

Going up to the city tower, Chen Shimei bowed down to Li Xian and Zhao Guohua and said: "Two adults, the lowly rank has already found out that the Tartars have indeed withdrawn their troops, and at present, the brigade of people has come out of GA County and is heading to the north. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Guohua glanced at Niu Huan, and Niu Huan nodded knowingly, proving that what Chen Shimei said was true.

"How many people are there in the Tartars? How many people were plundered? Zhao Guohua asked.

Lowering his head and thinking for a while, Chen Shimei said: "There are about 6,000 Tatar cavalry, there are about 6,000 Han troops, including the surrendered Ming army, there are about 6,000 people, and there are 40,000 or 50,000 people, and the whole team is five miles long. ”

After listening to Chen Shimei's narration, Zhao Guohua asked again: "How are the forces of the Tartars arranged?" ”

"The Tartar cavalry walked in front, the Han army followed behind, and the people were in the middle." Chen Shimei said.

The formation arranged by the Qing army made Zhao Guohua feel a little difficult, his number was small, and he could not fight with the cavalry of the Qing army on the plain, and if he fought the Han army, it was easy to cause chaos among the people and lead to a large number of casualties.

"What is Brother Zhao going to do?" Li Xian asked.

Zhao Guohua looked around and whispered in his ear......

"Okay, you can go without worry, I will guard the city." Li Xian arched his hand and said,

Considering the convenience of repairing fortifications, the blacksmith shops in the whole city were mobilized to make round-headed shovels together, and the production level of the Ming Dynasty was too low and delayed for three days, and the blacksmith shops in the whole city barely made enough shovels for 1,500 shovels.

After breakfast on the fourth day, Zhao Guohua left Zhuozhou City with the volunteer brigade in the name of going out to practice.

After retreating from Zhuozhou, Yanguli returned to GA County with seven or eight thousand remnants of soldiers, and rested in GA County for two days before he ordered the withdrawal of troops to Y County. Out of GA County, he sent Duolong Ao to lead 6,000 cavalry to open the road in front, and Ma Guangyuan led the Han army and the Ming army to surrender more than 6,000 troops to follow behind.

In order to prevent the people from escaping, Yanguli put the plundered more than 40,000 Ming people in the middle of the two teams.

Tens of thousands of captives of the Han Chinese were tied with their hands tied and tied to a long string of ropes, and the long procession was driven north by the whips and sabers of the Houjin soldiers. On both sides of the procession were hundreds of Han soldiers and Manchurian clothed minions patrolling back and forth with leather whips and sticks in their hands, and when they saw the slow walkers, both men and women, they rushed to a burst of sticks and whips, and from time to time the ranks heard the terrible screams of the beaten people.

In order to prevent the people from escaping, each person was only given a black and hard half-fist-sized mixed bread every day, and of course, the people who pushed the grain cart for the Qing army had two black steamed buns every day.

Just because of these two black-faced steamed buns, it has become a beauty difference for the Qing army to push the grain cart, and some women quietly go to sleep with a few Tartars who are in charge of the grain cart in order to let their men go to push the grain cart.

"Sir, this expedition, we have gained a lot of money, just a million taels of silver, and these forty or fifty thousand Nikans are also a lot of wealth. When you return to Shengjing, Your Majesty will definitely reward you heavily," Dekzik said, looking proudly at the long crowd of people and the wooden boxes on a dozen carts.

The wooden boxes were filled with gold and silver and some antiques, calligraphy and paintings. These things were all snatched from the homes of Ming officials and civilians after the city was broken, and every box of things was the blood of countless Ming people.

Shaking his head, Yanguli said indifferently: "What kind of heavy reward, if Your Majesty doesn't punish me, it's not bad." ”

Dekzik knew that he was still worried about the frustration of Zhuozhou, so he comforted: "Sir, victory and defeat are a common thing, you don't have to worry about it, and besides, you are not defeated, at most you are just frustrated." ”

Glancing back at the direction of Zhuozhou, Yanguli said: "Since I broke through the Dushikou and entered the customs on May 30, the Ming army is invincible, and I don't want to lose troops in Zhuozhou, which is really ashamed of me." Thinking of the militia in Zhuozhou City, I am unwilling. If it weren't for His Majesty's withdrawal, I would definitely not let them go. ”

"Sir, a small militia can't make any waves, let him go this time, and wait for the next chance to clean it up." Dekzik said with a smile.

Under the comfort of Dekzik, Yanguli was in a better mood, and he said: "Dekzik, you go and pick two beautiful women among the Han people, and Benjue should relax tonight." ”

"Wow." Dekzik smiled and agreed, and took a few of his retinue to the people to pick a woman for Yanguli.

In the camp of the Qing army in Changping, Azig, the king of Dorowuying, and Baya Lajia Lazhangjing Hilgen were discussing the withdrawal of troops. Since breaking through the Dushikou and entering the Ming Dynasty on May 30, it has been almost invincible. The Ming army lost its armor and removed its armor. In order to contain the Ming army and facilitate Abatai and Yanguli to burn and loot in the south, he led more than 50,000 people to confront the nearly 200,000 troops of the Ming army near the Beijing division.

Azig sent 10,000 troops to gallop back and forth in front of the two armies every day, but the commander of the ridiculous Ming army, Zhang Fengyi, was timid and cowardly, with an army of 200,000 in the air, and he didn't even dare to make a small temptation, so he let himself get away here.

"Da Ming is really hopeless, this Chongzhen child, it is really stupid to appoint such a person to lead the army." Azig said sarcastically.

Hilgen smiled and said, "What the county king said is that it seems that God is planning to let me enter the Central Plains." ”

"This day is not far off, and when the time comes, you and I will be the founding heroes." Azig rubbed his hands together.

The two looked forward to a better life in the future, and then Azig said: "Hilgen, you go and check whether the stolen gold, silver, jewelry, and precious calligraphy and paintings have been packed up, this is something to be handed over to Your Majesty, and you have to select ten stunning beauties from the captured Ming people, and I will go back to send them to Your Majesty and the princes Baylor." ”

"Abbatebelle and Lord Yanguli have gained a lot all the way south, and they have come back all the way, bringing so many people, animals, gold and silver, and I don't know if any Ming army dares to intercept them." Hilgen said.

Hearing this, Azig thought for a while and said: "After checking those things, seal them, you will take 5,000 men and horses to escort these Nikans to Miyun to wait for us, and then I will lead the army to come, Miyun is very close to Hexi Wu and Heping Valley, and there are our 20,000 troops stationed in those two places, and the Ming army does not dare to make up their minds."

"I'll do it, please rest assured." With that, Hilgen bowed and bowed, and then turned and went out.

Zhao Guohua took the volunteer brigade, under the leadership of Chen Shimei and several Ming army scouts, tracking all the way, only to see villages burned by Tartars everywhere, and the corpses of Ming people fell on the side of the road, some old and young, all women were almost naked, some ** were cut off, and some had wooden sticks stuffed into their lower bodies. Seeing these tragic scenes, the team members endured their grief and anger, buried the corpses of the people with tears, and then continued to chase the Tartars.

On this morning, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sat on the dragon chair on the platform of the Imperial Palace, and the ministers of civil and military affairs were on both sides of the Danqi in turn.

He looked at the civil and military ministers who were arguing below, and reprimanded him dissatisfiedly: "Everyone, from the beginning of Chenshi (07 o'clock to 09 o'clock BJ time) to the present, you have been blaming and passing the buck to each other, asking you how long you are going to quarrel, whether you want to prepare breakfast for you, and continue to quarrel when you are full." ”

After listening to his reprimand, the ministers stopped.

Seeing that they stopped arguing, Chongzhen felt a little better, glanced at Shoufu Wen Tiren, and asked dissatisfiedly: "****, how did you become the first assistant, why are you now more and more ruthless?" Well, and the Tartars are becoming more and more arrogant now, Lian doesn't understand, is it possible that the millions of taels of silver invested by the imperial court in Liaodong every year have been lost? ”
